Hello Hello!
This week was the bomb! Started off with splits
with two girls that just got back from their missions. Of course I went with
the one that is majorly intimidating, but super awesome! She loves the work and
it was so fun seeing how much she loved it. I learned to never leave an area
without talking with someone. We hit up some formers with the luck of no one
being home.. but then we reached the last person on the list. When we got to
her house, it wasn't her. Luckily for missionaries it isn't awkward to knock on
the wrong door because you just invite them to hear the message as well. Anyway,
it is so great that we were sent to that door. The girl looked about our age
and she was telling us about how she only goes to church on Easter on Christmas.
As we continued talking, we found out that she goes to the Mormon church on
those occasions and that her mother was raised Mormon. Long story short, we
were meant to go to that door, and we will be meeting with the whole family
sometime this upcoming week.
Miracles really are wrought by
faith. Saturday we were starting "hour of power" with our
district, where we go to a members and share a message on faith, pray with them
and then go to their neighbors for the next hour having the faith to find
someone that the Lord was preparing for us. I was terrified haha, we went to
the members home and her boy was really sick. So... Miracle #1 we went to a
members house just up the street and not only were they home but they were so
willing to hop on board. We shared the scripture on how miracles come after the
trial of our faith. Then we went out to try our faith in the neighborhood. We
only made it next door.. A man answered the door who was not interested.
However we asked if there was anything we could do for him. He is having a lot
of back problems so the offer was a godsend for him. We helped him rake and get
his yard in better order. By the end we started talking about why we were on
missions, the Book of Mormon got brought up and we talked about how God loves
everyone and even sent His gospel to the Americas. We also talked a lot about
trials and God's hand in our lives, by the end he accepted a book of Mormon and
we are going back to help some more! It is amazing what a little service can
do!
We are working with a few people and Roy
is doing awesome! He came to church again! He just needs to pray. Sometimes I
forget the importance of prayer. Well, I love you!
Love,
Sister Poulson
Funny of the week: We were picking raspberries outside when
Sister Bothwell decided she was done, on the way inside she didn't realize that
the screen was shut. Her face was priceless!
Also.. A member was telling us about someone on their
mission whose name was Pag-ee-ma, he asked how she got the name and she said it
was the name of someone in a magazine... pajama.. lol!
